Here, I have produced collages of characters using the vast collection of images of kings and using their different body structures. I have chosen to do this to express my ideas and to give me the opportunity to choose the best ones to use later on. My collages link to my theme as the king is the main character in chess which my project is mainly focusing on. I was really inspired to use the inspiration of Medieval and Renaissance Stained Glass within my collages as I really like the vibrant colour as it puts their royalty and beauty the centre of attention. I really liked how the final outcome of the collages as they were perfect for my project later. I Learned on how to create collages using my ideas and inspiration from other artist's work.

Here, I used a black biro and pen exploring the line and form of the set up I had made, using my sculpture as the centrepiece. I started with pen and biro to open up my ideas and visualise what other materials I could use. I could have done better by adding tone and mark making to my artwork portraying better quality and skill but I will keep this in mind as I start my next explorations.

Here, I have produced four separate studies using my king collages by choosing four characters I really liked. I wanted to improve my understanding on using drawing ink more often within my work and explore the detail within my chosen characters. My pieces are linked to my theme as they illustrate my ideas for my king. I focused on the detail in brass rubbings in my pieces, considering the mark making and texture. I really liked the mark making within my pieces as they are highly detailed and give tone and texture. I found avoiding getting ink blobs on my pieces difficult to start of with, but I got more comfortable using the ink as there were less ink blobs. I learnt how to be more relaxed around using drawing ink when it comes to drawing. Now with the pieces done, I will now choose one which I will make into my sculpture for the king.

Same for the queen, I have produced four separate studies using my queen collages by choosing four characters I really liked. I wanted to improve my understanding on using drawing ink more often within my work and explore the detail within my chosen characters. My pieces are linked to my theme as they illustrate my ideas for my king. I focused on the detail in brass rubbings in my pieces, considering the mark making and texture. I really liked the mark making within my pieces as they are highly detailed and give tone and texture. I found avoiding getting ink blobs on my pieces easier this time as I had more control and understanding. I learnt how to be more relaxed around using drawing ink when it comes to drawing. Now with the pieces done, I will now choose one which I will make into my sculpture for the queen.

Now that I have done my sculpture for the king, I am now going to focus on the queen by producing collages of characters using the vast collection of images of queens using their different body structures. I have chosen to do this to express my ideas and to give me the opportunity to choose the best ones to use later on. My collages link to my theme as the queen is the second most important character in chess which my project is mainly focusing on. I was really inspired to use the inspiration of Medieval and Renaissance Stained Glass within my collages as I really like the vibrant colour as it puts their royalty and beauty the centre of attention. I really liked how the final outcome of the collages as they were perfect for my project later. I Learned on how to create collages using my ideas and inspiration from other artist's work.

Here, I have made my final outcome for the king where I have made a sculpture inspired by my ideas and experimentations. I have managed to gain more experience making three dimensional models using geometric shapes. This links to my theme as I used the structure of chess pieces within my sculpture. I really liked the array of geometric shapes and detail applied lightening the sculpture, illustrating line and form. I found making the sculpture pretty difficult as it was time-consuming and keep everything together. Now that I have done m my sculpture for the king, I can now move onto the final stage of packaging for the king.

Here, I decided to expand the size of my drawings from A3 to A2, allowing me to work in bigger proportions. I used a thick black white board marker, experimenting with line and form using thicker material. I prefer this piece over my colour study as I really like being able to add more detail and more of the sculpture in my artwork, but also more tone and skill. I like the style of the 'outline' drawings as feel this is something I will incorporate into my project further down the line.

To start my project 'Games' I wanted to experiment with a few initial ideas to start the ball rolling. Here, I have collected a range of toys and three-dimensional shapes to make a sculpture. This got me thinking about constructive games and different colours. I carefully considered the type and colour of shapes I was using, allowing me to experiment with an array of skills and materials. I enjoyed making my sculpture as I relieved my understanding of using joints/connections to make different three-dimensional structures. I will use this to inspire some different drawings and recordings of what I can see.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I used a thin orange white board marker because I wanted to see the outcome of both white board marker pieces and compare them. I used a thinner white board marker, experimenting with line and form and a different, vibrant colour seeing which piece is better. I thinks its alright, I could have added more skill and control in places, also adding more tone and texture.

Now that I have done my sculpture for the knight, I am now going to focus on the final character which is the castle. I would do this by producing collages of characters using the vast collection of images of castles using their different body structures. I have chosen to do this to express my ideas and to give me the opportunity to choose the best ones to use later on. My collages link to my theme as the castle is the least important character in chess which my project is mainly focusing on. I was really inspired to use the inspiration of my chosen artists on how they explore characters and structure through colour and form. Also, looking at real life castles, looking deep into the structure. I really liked how the final outcome of the collages as they were perfect for my project later. I Learned on how to create collages using my ideas and inspiration from other artist's work.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly for the castle, I have produced four separate studies using my castle collages by choosing four characters I really liked. I wanted to improve my understanding on using drawing ink more often within my work and explore the detail within my chosen characters. My pieces are linked to my theme as they illustrate my ideas for my king. I focused on the detail and colour from my researched artists. I really liked the mark making within my pieces as they are highly detailed and give tone and texture. I have no problem with using drawing ink in work later on as I am now very comfortable. Now with the pieces done, I will now choose one which I will make into my final sculpture for the castle.

To kick start my project I started to look at the different characters within a game of Chess. When I was in London I found lots of similar characters within the stained glass windows. These beautiful, vivid colours reminded me of the colours I loved when experimenting with toys at the start of my project (See Sculpture). Seeing these gave me a lot of ideas for my own project development. I collated the images I took and sorted them into categories so I could see what I had and decide what to do next. I also included some additional sections such as Castles to give my characters a location.

Here, I decided to expand the size of my drawings again from A2 to A1, allowing me to work in bigger proportionalities meanwhile considering the size and width of the drawing. It was really challenging drawing with charcoal with a stick, as it requires control and focus. I like the density of the shapes in the drawing as it explores volume and line. I could have done a lot better by having more control over the stick on the paper and adding tone/mark making.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I still used biro and pen, but I used a purple biro and a blue pen experimenting with vibrant colours. This feels more suitable given how vibrant the original toys were I am looking at. I think this artwork is better than my black biro and pen study, as I like the applied colour, making it stand out more and noticeable. Again, I could have added mark making and tone giving it more life and demonstrating my artistic skills further.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I decided to do a pencil with and without colour study, allowing me to compare the differences between colour and non-colour. I added more detail and mark making in a few places in my artwork, but could have done more, exploring tone and texture throughout. I really liked the final outcome due to the the colour differences, but also having better control over the artwork.

Here, I still used charcoal but without the stick this time, to illustrate the difference in control between the two charcoal drawings. I have clearly demonstrated more control in this drawing, as I was able to include more detail and depth in my work. However, I could have added mark making and tone giving it a sense of realism.

Here, I have collected a vast array of images from the internet to help me with my ideas for my collages and choose which images I like and dislike. I arranged them into specific categories to help with my decision making.

Now I have experimented with some different ideas for my project I know that I would like to respond to 'Games' by looking further at characters of different games. The characters in Chess inspire me a lot as I like the different roles they play in the game. I am intrigued by the Kings, Queens, Knights and so on. I have decided to look at these artists to begin the influence my practical work.

Here, I decided to use the colours of my sculpture within my drawing using different materials to make it eye catching and noticeable. I enjoyed using gouache more than acrylic paint as gouache is more smooth giving more vibrant colours. I also liked the texture of the gouache compared to the acrylic paint. I could have created more tone making lighter and darker colours.

Here, I have collected a vast amount of images from my trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I was fascinated in the stained glass and sculptures of figures related to my theme chess. Also, I made 14 different rough sketches of artwork I located in the museum that really caught my eye. I then used my fine liners to add mark making and stunning detail in my drawings. I absolutely love the outcome of my drawings, but also having more research to use later on in my project.

For my final drawing of my sculpture, I used different materials to add colour to my drawing. I didn't like the outcome of the watercolour as it lacks colour and is messy in places. I really like the oil pastel as it is r4eally smooth and expresses vibrant colours beautifully. I also like the texture and care put into the drawing. I could have done a lot better working with watercolour adding more colour and tone.

Here, I started off with making the base of the wig, considering the length, width of each strip of cardboard, meanwhile constanly looking back at my ideas and annotations. I used masking tape to keep the base of the wig more secure, so I can move on to adding detail and design.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I have started on my designs for my wig by making curls out of strips of paper, considering the length and width of each strip. As soon as I made one paper curl, I wrapped each other strip of paper around it, making sure the were all the same size. I would then celotape my paper curls to the front of my wig. I needed to make a lot more paper curls as I didn't make enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are my final designs for my wig that will be inserted on the back. I accurately cut out each design looking back at the different lengths and widths on the base of my wig and applying it to my designs. To Start of with, I used a pencil and lightly applied it to my cut outs adding detail but also allowing to remove mistake. Then, I went over the pencil with a thick, black whiteboard marker to add further detail and mark making.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the final outcome for my wig. I am proud on how the designs worked for the back of my wig as it clearly expresses my ideas. I used masking tape to keep the designs secure on the wig. I also like how I used my knowledge and experience on joints and connections to make three-dimensional structures at the bottom of the wig.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a challenge on keeping the paper curls in place, but I really like how it creates form and structure on the wig.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I started with researching into potential artists that work inspire me and exploring chess characters I was going to use in my project. I also looked into specific artwork that fascinated me.

# data[].attributes.body
Here, I have made a print on one of my four ink drawings. I have created this to explore further printing techniques to advance my experimentations. I created this by using a cutting knife and removing the thin outer layers, revealing patterns. I really liked the pattern and the overall cutting. I learnt how to use this printing technique and use it later on.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I have made a lino print of one of my queen ink drawings. I have created this piece to expand on my experimentations of printing. I really liked the lino cutting as I really enjoy lino printing.
